    Not a bad idea really.

    Haven’t heard much new albums this year that interest me, and there’s about 2 I remember off the top of my head so here goes.

    #1 (Favourite album of the year — So far) Mastodon – Once more round the sun

    What can I say about Mastodon that hasn’t already been said before. The band is a juggernaut in modern metal, and some of their past heavier stuff is simply mindblowing, though I will say the same about their new slower work. The album is heavier than The Hunter (their previous release) and in my opinion better. The guitar playing is once again amazing, and all three singers have a chemistry when singing together on a track, though they are equally strong when singing on solo tracks.

    #2 Killer be Killed – This album was deemed for greatness as soon as it was announced. A super group featuring members from Mastodon, Soulfly/ex-sepultura, Mars Volta and The dillinger escape plan. The album turned out great and the three singers have a good chemistry
